If nobody can read over your shoulder, you stop checking over it.
The problem it solves
Working in cafes, trains or open offices means part of your attention is spent on who can see your screen.
What it is
A thin polarised film that attaches to the monitor or laptop and blacks out the screen from side angles while staying clear for you.
Who it is for
People who work with sensitive information in public, and anyone who finds nearby eyes distracting.
How to use it so it sticks
Fit it and forget it. For laptops, keep the clip-on version in the bag.
Who should skip it
If you only ever work in a private room, you are paying for nothing.
Verdict
Peace of mind for public work, and it reduces glare as a bonus.
